and that's an accomplishment in and of itself. idk, I'm just happy that someone read this fic and felt enough about it to comment all that. it feels good.

p.s, let's just ignore that last line. I was feeling spicy. it's a reader insert that's not a legit reader insert. bite me. (5/5)

when I decided to include the PTSD aspect of the character, I tried to do it justice (because that's a hard thing to write about) and this makes me feel like I succeeded in that. like, yeah, it's just a fic, bit I still managed to make this fake video game character feel human to someone (4/5)

I guess the fact that I could take a pre-existing soldier character from a video game, that most people have their own ideas about, and write something that warranted someone to write this comment makes me proud? sure, it could be fake, but it still gives me some drive, you know? (3/5)

and to give myself a bit of a writing workout, and ao3 just happens to be a really good place to house them. keeps my Google Drive storage free.

but someone left this comment on it and I just need to reflect on it a little. (2/5)
